I was doing my daily meditation a little bit ago and my Rhino appeared to me instantly. He wanted to take me on a journey and I was not expecting to do that today. He told me to merge with him, and so I did. I felt very comfortable in his form. It felt good being large and heavy, sturdy. It felt like it was a good thing (and usually when we feel large and heavy, we feel fat and negative emotions associated with being fat). Our bodies became one and we went running. He leaped into the cave entrance I use for journeying and we continued running. I recognized fluorescent glowing lights along the cave walls. Soon, there was a pool ahead with a small island in the center. There was a woman sitting on the island in formal wear and she was just chilling out there. I have seen this before. The woman nodded politely to me as we walked past. I asked my Rhino why she was there, or what it meant. He told me that today was not the right time for that. Then he broke into a run again. We came to an edge of a cliff with a ladder leading down. He told me to take us down. Even though we were merged and I was as the Rhino, it only took a thought from me to have my human body back and walk us down the ladder. This time, my Rhino was within my body. When we got to the bottom, we transformed back into the Rhino form. In only a few steps we approached a large opening that opened into a huge beautiful forest. I slowly emerged from his body and was my own again. We walked slowly and I kept one hand on his side. I have been to this forest before.
I asked him ,"Why are we here?"
I don't remember his exact response, but it was something along the lines of "wait and see."
It started to thunder and rain heavily. I asked him if this was happening because I was listening to a thunderstorm track for my meditation.
He chuckled and said, "No, it is because you wanted rain and you need its healing."
This made me smile as earlier I had prayed for rain because I need its healing power. I held my arms to the sky and enjoyed the fat droplets hitting my skin. I fell on my back to the forest floor and smelled the wet soil. I rolled around, feeling the soil, rain, and plants. I laid on my back staring up at the cloud filled sky with the towering trees above. An insect crawled on my hand and slowly up my arm. I smiled at it and remained still, listening to the forest. As I sat up, the ground shook and an enormous praying mantis walked by. It was so large it was bigger than most buildings. I looked up amazed at the underside of its belly. It disappeared through the trees and started to shrink. It shrunk to a normal size for a praying mantis and flew to me. It landed on my left arm and crawled up to sit on my shoulder. It started whispering in my ear.
The praying mantis I discovered is another animal totem for me. She started explaining why. Now, I have not read anything on praying mantis animal totems. This all came from her. She told me that I need to be sure to camouflage myself and then congratulated me on doing so regularly. She encouraged me to spend more time around and among plants, respecting their gift of life, food, and shelter. What she told me next surprised me, but made total sense. She said that I take what I need from my mates and move on. She said I devour what I need and then move on to the next to find what I need. As she explained this she showed me how Praying Mantis females devour the heads of their mates after mating. She then told me I do this because my true mate is not here on this Earth to be with me, that I am here to help others. And so I find temporary mates to fill my needs. Considering the history of my love life, this made complete sense.
Rhino then prompted me to walk. We walked together and I saw a lake with a small island on it. My higher self was sitting there and she smiled when she saw me. The swan floating on the lake at her side swam to in front of the island and there were several other swans suddenly. She stepped on the backs of the swans and came to me, giving me a loving hug. She took my hand and started walking back across the swans to the island. I started to protest, not wanting to hurt the swans, but when I looked down before I stepped, I noticed that the swans were now stone and turned facing the island now. Whereas before, the swans were facing me. I was mystified and with my higher self's encouragement, stepped across the backs of the stone swans to the little island. She took my hands and we sat together on the mossy grass. I started to ask about the swans and she just laughed and then told me that this was a magical forest. The island started to move as I heard a loud groaning animal noise. The island rose higher and higher and I saw that it was actually the head of an animal! It had a very long neck and its skin was green and turquoise in color. When my eyes saw the body rise from the forest floor which was part water and part soil, my mouth dropped open. It was a Plesiosaur. I started to ask my higher self what his name was, but as soon as I said him, she corrected me and said she. I was so enthralled that it was a female that I lost interest in her name.
For those of you unfamiliar with the term, it is an herbivore water dinosaur. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plesiosauria
The head rose almost above the forest canopy, hovering just under it. My higher self then told me that the reason I had seen the Bear Lake monster and felt such a connection to it, was because it was one of my totems. I was not expecting this, but it rang true and made sense. I was in awe and filled with joy. My higher self then took the time to tell me that I am on the right path, that I need to remain positive and push my website. She encouraged me to keep going and that I pulled the "You are on the right path" card yesterday because it is true. Then a bright light appeared from the sky and shone on me. A hand from the light handed me a pink square envelope that opened from four folds. Inside the envelope was a large amount of cash. I held it to my heart and poured forth my gratitude and love. I tucked the envelope into a pocket under my arm. Then my higher self took my hand and placed a small ball of white light in my palm. I could make out little wings and noticed arms and legs, almost invisible in the bright light. It was a fairy. She told me to keep seeking the fairy realms. She told me that when I was a child I conversed with the fairies almost every day and that I was starting to remember. She said that it is time I start seeking them out so that I may converse with them on a daily basis once again. She told me the fairy in my palm was a companion of mine when I was a child and I was now ready to have her as a companion again. I asked the fairy her name. Her name is Oona, Loona or Lunia. She said I could call her any of those. I was skeptical as that is a fairy name in some movies. My higher self tut-tutted me and said that just because it was in a movie does not mean it was not true or real. Oona asked me if I believed in faeries. I told her why yes of course I do! She seemed pleased by this because Oona made a funny face at me and made me laugh. The Plesiosaur then began lowered back down to the forest floor and water. The island settled and I knew it was time to go. I thanked everyone with love in my heart. I stepped off the stone swans and met my Rhino again. We merged and ran together, heading back the way we came. Soon, my Rhino was leaping us through the cave entrance into a bright white light and then I opened my eyes and was back in my office.
Meeting a fairy companion surprised me but I welcome her! I just started reading Enchantment of the Fairie Realm by Ted Andrews last night. I do not believe in coincidences. I look forward to opening up to these realms and experiences! I have always believed in faeries!
I was not planning to journey today, so this was an unexpected surprise. I just had to journal they experience before I forgot any details. I just love how my guides step up when the time is right! I hope everyone has a beautiful day!

My First Encounter with Archangel Kamiel
I had just an okay day today. I did not do my usual meditation and Reiki early in the day like I usually do. I spent a good amount of my day applying for scholarships and orientating myself on my university's website. For those of you who do not know, I am starting school in September for my degree in Psychology. =^)
My husband had a bad day at work and was very moody when he got home. He remained grumpy even when he went to bed. Being a strong empath, this made me depressed and moody too. I felt my gut telling me that I needed to shield because I was feeling his emotions, not my own. In the past, I have ignored my gut and just stayed in bed and read or played games until I fell asleep. After all the progress I have been making and how positive I have been, I really did not want to do that tonight. So, I took a shower and then came into my office to meditate and do Reiki on myself.
Boy, am I sure glad I did! I grabbed my rose quartz and placed it on my chest over my heart before I started. After I meditated, balanced and cleared my chakras, I started shielding myself. As I started, a new person I did not recognize appeared and began putting up my shields for me. He had a huge nose and long super curly hair, like permed! His hair was light brown to gold in color. It could have been brown with gold highlights even. His face was like a combination of Gene Wilder's and Dustin Hoffman's, but unique. He was wearing a court jester outfit minus the hat. The garb was red and yellow in color. He was very animated. Almost immediately I began to ask who he was, but before I could finish my question I felt and heard "Archangel Kamiel." He also smiled at me at the same time. I felt a soft loving warmth spread over me. For the past few weeks, maybe even the last month, I have been calling on Archangel Kamiel almost daily to assist me in grounding, shielding, and healing sessions.
After he shielded me and surrounded me with love, he knelt down next to me to talk. He confirmed that I was picking up my husband's emotions and that I need to make sure I shield every day before he gets home. He comforted me and told me some other things I needed to hear. He said we were very old friends and while we talked it did feel like we have known each other a very long time. His hands and arms were very animated as he talked. He stood up and slowly started to walk away. I asked him to wait. I asked him how I was doing. He tilted his head with a coy smile and asked me what I thought. I thought briefly and couldn't help but smile as I told him I thought I was doing amazing. His smile broadened and he nodded knowingly.
He then said, "Precisely."
Then he did a funny dance and jump. I laughed and asked why he was dressed in a court jester outfit. He told me he thought I needed a good laugh. This made me smile and I actually had a couple happy tears from the whole encounter.
He then said to me, "You know why you like that Doctor Who TV show so much?"
Surprised by his question, I asked, "Why?"
He then said, "Because the Doctor reminds you, well your subconscious, of me," and he smiled a huge cheesy smile.
I laughed again, but could feel the truth in his words with a warm and light feeling in my chest. I stood up, walked over to him and opened my arms and asked if I could hug him. He said yes of course I could hug him and said he was a hugger. He seemed flustered I even asked, like I should already know. He embraced me in one of the best bear hugs I have ever experienced. He told me to go and spend the rest of my evening taking care of me. He said if I wanted to heal others than by all means to go ahead and do so, but to do whatever I wanted and take care of myself because taking care of myself is very important. He then left waving goodbye. This was my first time meeting him in this life. He told me he has known me a very long time and I have know him a very long time also, even though this was my first time meeting him in this life. I am so grateful he came to me tonight and had a nice long talk with me. I needed it. Thank you Archangel Kamiel for helping me tonight and for always watching over me. Love and light. ~*Namaste*~

Drums of the Wolf and Prayer Braid Meditation
I am usually in bed getting ready to fall asleep around this time. I just took a cool shower and took out my contact lenses and got into bed. As I picked up my phone to do some reading before sleep time, I realized that I needed to write down the incredible experience and messages I received tonight. So, here I am. =^)
Today has been an amazing day overall. I got to see my dear friend, Krissy, and we went to the Temple of Sekhmet together. She loved it, just as I knew she would. As we left the guest trailer to go sit in the temple, it down-poured on us! It was cloudy all day, but had only rained a little early in the morning. We both loved the cleansing rain as it danced on our skin and soaked our clothes. There was gentle thunder and it felt almost as if the Goddesses were saying "Welcome!" We had a lovely and powerful time there.
Later, we attended a class and meditation that one of my other soul sisters was hosting. It was called "Drums of the Wolf Meditation." I have been wanting to go to this for a few months now. For some reason I felt I must go to it with Krissy and the last couple times that it was held, we just were not able to go. We finally were able to go tonight and I am glad tonight was our first. A very special guest also attended tonight's meditation. It was the artist of The Animal Wisdom Deck and of my favorite spiritual picture, Rhino. For those of you who don't know, Rhino is one of my power animals and very important to me right now in my spiritual journey. Before the class, I took her hand and looked her in the eyes and expressed to her the meaning of her artwork and how this single painting/drawing of Rhino has changed my life, touched my soul and meant so much to me. She was gracious, sweet and very glad to hear my story. Her energy is so warm and loving! It was an honor to meet her and be in her presence. What an example to learn from.
Now the main reason I wanted to write this at all tonight was the journey I had during this class. I wanted to write it all down before I forgot anything! The meditation started with shamanic drumming. I did not set an intent or question for my journey. I asked my guides to lead me wherever they felt I needed to go. After I closed my eyes and listened to the drumming, I instantly saw the cave entrance I have used before for journeying. I was pleasantly surprised to see my Rhino standing there waiting for me. I have never journeyed with my Rhino before, so I was very happy and excited!
My Rhino nuzzled my shoulder and told me to climb on its back. I did so and it began walking down into the cave. I had to lay down on its back with my arms holding onto its neck so that I would not bump into the cave ceiling. Slowly and gradually my Rhino walked down deeper into the cave. After a short while, I saw a wolf ahead. It looked at my Rhino and then turned and ran. My Rhino began to run as well, following the wolf. Before I knew it, the cave walls were flying by very fast as my Rhino ran faster and faster. Soon the cave walls turned into stars and looking around I realized we were now traveling through astral. My Rhino seemed to be running on a path that looked like rainbow glass. I could see galaxies, stars, and planets all around us. I remember thinking, "Wow. We are going so fast." I felt my Rhino thinking, "You think this is fast? Ha! Watch this!" and he took off even faster! I was holding on for dear life. I did not want to fall off!
To the right and becoming closer to us as my Rhino ran, was a large orange planet. Rhino jumped and pounded its feet very hard and all at once on the planet, almost leaping off it back to the path. The planet shook from my Rhino's mighty step. As I watched the planet shake and tremble, I felt my Rhino think, "You too have the power the shake the universe." The path turned in a big loop and we kept traveling. The speed increased even more and then it looked like we were traveling through a wormhole.
All of a sudden we came to a stop and we were standing in a green grassy meadow. I slid off Rhino's back as I took in my surroundings. The sky was bright sky blue and rippling like water. I could see the stars and galaxies through it as it was partially transparent, like a pool. The grass was bright green, but trees in the distance were grey or dark brown with no leaves. It definitely looked alien. My Rhino casually lumbered slowly as it grabbed mouthfuls of grass and chewed leisurely. I then felt my Rhino think, "Eat." I squatted down and gently placed my hand on the earth. I asked the planet, or land, if I may take from it. In response, a hand made from the soil rose out of the ground offering me a bunch of grass and soil, and I felt it answer "eat." I grabbed a handful of the grass and pulled it up, placing it soil first in my mouth. I chewed and ate it grateful for it. It tasted earthy, sweet and rich and I felt it fill me up warmly. I then had a the sudden urge and desire to be naked, to be completely wild and embrace my femininity and be one with the earth. As I felt this, my clothes fell away almost instantly. Completely naked, I then rolled in mud and dirt until I was completely covered head to toe. I held my hands to the sky and felt powerful and one with the land. I was completely filled with love and strength. My Rhino then sauntered off to a nearby pond, or lake, that was still as glass. Rhino began to drink and I felt Rhino think, "drink." I approached the water right next to Rhino and got down on all fours. I looked at my reflection in the water as I began to ask for permission to drink from the water. Again I heard, "drink." And so I began to drink by placing my mouth to the water's surface just like Rhino.
The water was thick, refreshing, and sweet. It too filled me to my core as the grass had. I then saw myself transform into a Rhino. My Rhino and I then started running around the meadow together happily. I felt one with Rhino. I sensed we should head back and so I climbed back on Rhino's back, and once again I was human. Almost instantaneously we returned to the cave and outside of the cave entrance. I hugged my Rhino and expressed my love and gratitude to it. I felt it return the love. I started to give Rhino Reiki as my way of giving back and it stopped me. Well, it didn't really stop me, but it interrupted me. Rhino gave me its horn. Where its horn had been looked like it had been sawed off. The horn floated into my hands with sparkling light surrounding it from above. I said, "This is your horn. I cannot take your horn." Rhino answered, "Eh, I can grow another." It sounded so laid back and easy going about it. I could not deny its gift. I held the horn above my head, grateful and honoring its power. Then I hugged the horn to my chest and pressed it into me. The horn melded into my chest and become one with my body and soul. I felt my heart chakra grow and glow brighter than ever. I even saw the shade of green change in my heart chakra. It became a brighter, more vibrant shade of green. I held Rhino's face and looked into its eye lovingly. Rhino then said, "Now we are one. We are one." Rhino's words felt so true. I felt it resonate with me deeply. I knelt in front of Rhino and just held my hands on its two front feet. Rhino lied down and we just sat together peacefully.
I just listened to the beat of the drum and I started to hear Native voices chanting along. Then my mink came running up to me and into my lap. It looked up at me and I petted it lovingly. I felt it think, "run with me," and it took off running. So, I got up, turned into a mink and started running after her. It was sort of a running game, a chase. It was fun. The beat of the drum shifted and pulled me back out of the meditative state. I was blown away by the journey I had just taken. I am still blown away! We each shared what we experienced. It was a beautiful circle to share with these other women.
We then picked our colored threads and started making our prayer braids. I am so glad I learned how to do prayer braiding. I released a lot of negative emotions from my past and felt a great healing occur from this. I am going to make many more prayer braids. The simple movement is very relaxing and really helped my mind go into a meditative state. I look forward to healing, releasing, and bringing many more things into my life through prayer braids.
This whole day and night was wonderful and beautiful. I am so grateful for all my soul sisters who bring love and change into my life. Every single one of you are important to me! I love you all with all my being. Well, now I feel ready for bed! Have a wonderful evening everyone!
~~~* I'd like to throw out a huge thank you and love to Krissy, Melissa, and Jada!*~~~

You can do any combination you want. Only thing is the free one has to be equal or lesser value than the one you purchase! I have plenty of time and so if you order I will do your reading within 24 hours. I will probably be able to do a turn around the same day. If you have any questions or are interested in a service you don't see on my website, just email me and ask! I am here to help you any way I can!

Continuing Self Healing
I have been receiving messages and guidance from my guides and angels to continue my self healing. I am learning that there is never an end to self healing. It must be constant, just as a constant need to improve ourselves. I am adamant about continuing my journey to help people. It truly feels right to me to heal myself so that I may be a clearer channel for divine energy to heal others. I am so grateful for the opportunity to learn reiki and the ability to use it to help others.
Yesterday a friend took me to the temple of Sekhmet that is close to our city. It is actually about a thirty minute drive outside of town, but it is worth it. It is more like a sanctuary that is dedicated to all Goddesses, but it was built for and to honor Sekhmet. It sits on a natural spring so there are huge lush tress and lots of desert plant life. There is a small labyrinth, which I did not get the opportunity to walk yesterday. I will have to walk it next time I visit. The temple also rests on Native land which the founder purchased and deeded back to the Western Shoshone who originally inhabited the land. As I walked the grounds and sat in the temple last night, I certainly felt the ancestors all around me. As I sat and enjoyed the silence and peace in the temple, I heard a few notes of a wooden flute on the wind. At that moment, my friend and I were both thinking about our shamanic drums and bringing them out for a drumming ceremony or journey. It almost felt like approval from the ancestors of that land.
All my life I have struggled with connecting to my own feminine energy and connecting with other females. I have always felt like "one of the guys." We did a New Moon ceremony of making our own collages of how people perceive us and how we really are on the inside. Only women are allowed at the New Moon ceremonies, but everyone is welcome any other time. There were only four of us last night, including the Priestess. However, I truly enjoyed the intimacy of the small group. The other three women there have beautiful souls and I feel I connected to them on a deep level. It had been a really long time since I had done anything creative like this and it proved to actually be quite self healing. I am going to hang the collage in my spiritual room as it is inspiration for me. I am looking forward to many more beautiful experiences out there.

I just finished my reiki meditation and self healing for today before I started this blog post. I still have many things to self heal. Every time I do healing on myself, I am filled with peace and love. I hope every time I channel reiki for someone else that they too feel this wonderful feeling. As I was laying down enjoying the flow of the energy, I briefly heard voices of a large crowd whispering around me. I know it was the spirits who are waiting for my help. I am glad they made themselves known this way to remind me that they are indeed there and waiting patiently. I know I have a lot more work ahead of me, but I am so looking forward to it. I find I am more excited about the journey itself rather then the destination. I am so grateful for every day of my life and those in it and those who will become a part of it. I would not be where I am today without my dear friends and family who support me 100% in my spiritual endeavors. I will not list names, as I do not want to make anyone feel left out. However, if you are reading this, more than likely you are one who has inspired or helped me along the way. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I want to radiate love and light to all in the entire universe. I am grateful for the opportunities that keep presenting themselves to me. Thank you Heavenly Father and Mother Earth for all the blessings in my life.
